A group of individuals who share a love of cycling and the outdoors. We will always stop for a photo, or to hit a rope swing… Rubber side up!

Where did Prolly is Not Probably go?

It is still here, and then some. PiNP was one person’s opinion and voice. Now we are a collective – a community of diverse opinions and rich stories.

What does the Radavist mean?

Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST

Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike to shredding the trails on full suspension. Take the time to get rad.

I’m alive and well, but as you can tell, this year’s NAHBS coverage is being throttled a little bit. I spent a lot of time just talking to people and shooting the bikes that I truly liked, rather than scrambling around trying to get every single booth. One of those bikes was the Peacock Groove Voltron track.

I really admire Erik Noren. His work has personality and he’s the only builder I like to shoot pictured with his frames. Year after year, Erik’s themed track bikes draw polarizing opinions. You either love it or you hate it but who can hate Voltron? Also, a side note. These photos were taken yesterday, before Denver was covered with a blanket of snow. See more in the Gallery!

Excellent.

A 12-spoke front wheel, built on a 32-hole flange? That won’t support the weight of human rider, much less a Voltron.

… Built by HED’s wheel builder but of course you know wayyyyyyy more than him.

I would trust the wheel build, but aesthetically speaking it bugs me that the unused nipple holes aren’t plugged.

Not a huge fan of his work but wild ride all the same.

Like it or not, its a piece of art.

Noren is an awesome builder and person. Integral part of Minneapolis, MN, and the US bike world. Somewhat tangentially I thought I would give you another reason to actually make it to MN (aside from the All-City Championships, Peacock Groove, etc.) but Austin Lunn of Panopticon is now living in MN and will be opening a brew pub in Lino Lakes, MN, in the next few months called Hammerheart Brewing.

Well then I will see you at Almanzo. There will be a gang of us wearing Freewheel Bike jerseys. Most of us work there. Black and Yellow.
